Copenhagen's Anarchist Freetown of Christiania

…is under attack by the usual suspects. Figures.

Declarations of the First Stoner Homeland

I quitting smoking pot, for the most part, years ago and stoner culture itself never really appealed to me. That said, of all the separatist groups I’ve ever encountered, this is one of my personal favorites.

The Program of the Nation of Islam

Read it all here. So far as I can tell, there is nothing in these principles that are inherently incompatible with anarcho-pluralism or pan-secessionism. The kinds of communities the NOI might create internally would not exactly please our left-libertarian rivals, but so what? Just don’t go there.

Anarcho-Communism in Rural Virginia

Who would’ve thought? This place is about an hour from my residence, and I’ve had a number of friends who lived there for varying periods of time. See more here and here. Apparently, there are about 2000 such communities in the USA. The fact that such communities can […]

Is Diversity Strength?

Craig Bodeker interviews Jared Taylor. Predictability, Taylor says no. Jared Taylor makes the most articulate and compelling case for the legitimate concerns of white nationalists of anyone I am familiar with, but that’s not really the source of my interest in him. Rather, I am much more interested […]

The Real History of the Religious Right and Its Relevance to Pan-Secessionism

Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late evangelical Christian theologian and philosopher Francis Schaeffer, talks about how the “religious right” actually came into being in an interview with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. See Part One and Part Two. See also these detailed interviews with John Whitehead and […]

Socialism for the Rich

Keith Preston and the "King of Conspiracy"

by Steven Saragian Our Glenn Beck?: http://www.alternativeright.com/main/blogs/zeitgeist/our-glenn-beck/ Recently Keith Preston of AttackTheSystem.com authored an article on the Austin radio show host and documentary film maker Alex Jones. As a fellow, for lack of a better term, Conservative Anarchist that has actually been involved with what, for the lack […]

Liberal Blogger Calls for Military Occupation of American Cities

Totalitarian humanism at its finest. I suppose little more could be expected from a graduate of the System’s premiere institution of higher learning. What we need, I think, is some form of American gendarmerie—a quasi-military federal organization specialized in police/security functions rather than finding and killing bad guys […]

AttacktheSystem.Com is Now Ten Years Old

January 25 will be the tenth anniversary of Attack the System’s first appearance online. Special thanks to all of those who have supported or contributed to ATS over the years. For newer readers or those with a taste for nostalgia, here’s what we looked like in the old […]

What Would the Right-Wing of Pan-Secessionism Look Like?

I have a piece up at AlternativeRight.Com where I take a look at Alex Jones. Read it here. I argue that the kinds of elements Jones appeals to might be the ground level forces for the Alternative Right just as the fans of “conservative talk radio” and FOX […]

The Assessment Revisited: Again

by Michael Parish After posting my official reply to my critics last night, I paid a visit to Keith’s blog only to find that another voice had slipped under my radar. Normally, I would compose a brief rejoinder and post it in the comment’s section; the considerable length […]

Almost Everything Is A Crime In America Now

From The Economic Collapse #1 A Michigan man has been charged with a felony and could face up to 5 years in prison for reading his wife’s email. #2 A 49-year-old Queens woman had bruises all over her body after she was handcuffed, arrested and brutally beaten by […]

My First Cavity Search

The World According to Americans

Antimodernist Autonomism: Where Left and Right Meet

A correspondent recently informed me of Arthur Versluis’ article, “Antimodernism” (Telos, no. 137, winter 2006, pp. 96-130). This passage is particularly relevant to what we do here: (pp. 122-123): “Indeed, even those who are often termed ‘leftists’ or ‘anarchists’ share a great deal with what is often termed […]

We're Back in Business

Are anarchists back in business after 70 years? Yes, according to an AP News Report: European anarchists grow more violent, coordinated … A loosely linked movement of European anarchists who want to bring down state and financial institutions is becoming more violent and coordinated after decades out of […]

The Enlightened White Man's Burden

by Jack Ross Pat reminds us of his brilliance yet again in taking on the ever-dreary national greatness conceit about the decline of our science and math test scores.  He cites a study by the great Steve Sailer showing that White and Asian test scores still beat all […]

"All Hedonists Are Equal, But Some Hedonists Are More Equal Than Others"

Observes Paul Gottfried. Most of the alternatives posed to the present liberal tyranny, Jim points out, are flawed or unworkable. Glorifying the wills of some superior individuals or an ideal community based on biological similarity or working class élan may be to retreat into wishful thinking or else […]

The Two Factions of Totalitarian Humanism

Lew Rockwell on the neoconservatives and Bill Anderson on the progressives. Paul Craig Roberts on the police state they have created.

Bradley Manning: Defending Our Freedom

Kevin Carson on a genuine military hero. When I hear someone say that soldiers “defend our freedom,” my immediate response is to gag.  I think the last time American soldiers actually fought for the freedom of Americans was probably the Revolutionary War — or maybe the War of […]

R.I.P. Aaron Zelman

The leader of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership has died. See obituaries here and here. My only contact with Aaron was a lengthy telephone conversation about fifteen years ago, but I found him to be a highly impressive individual. JPFO’s materials are some of the most […]

Attack the System at the Enforcement Level

So says Kevin Carson: I saw a couple of heartening news items this past week that illustrate the same principle.  First, a judge in Missoula County Montana complained that it would soon likely become almost impossible to enforce anti-marijuana laws because of the increasing difficulty of seating juries.  […]

Anti-Wikileaks Liberals and the Cult of Authority

Justin Raimondo takes down Michael Lind. Lind’s “new nationalism,” is, I’m afraid, the same as the “old” nationalism: a flag-waving, hysterical, ingrown doctrine of delusion and rationale for unbridled militarism. It is an ideological instrument that makes repression easier to justify, even as the epitome of an enlightened […]

The New Elite

Charles Murray on the new emerging ruling class. I’ve posted this here before but it’s worth reading again. (hat tip to Miles Joyner)

Portugal's Drug Policy Pays Off; U.S. Eyes Lessons

Good piece on Portugal’s drug policy from The Washington Post.

Merry Anarchist Christmas!

…To all our readers, associates, allies, and supporters. May the System continue its slow death in 2011.

Leftist Deja Vu

by  Jack Ross Originally published at Jack’s Post Right blog for The American Conservative I am admittedly late in commenting on this item on @TAC praising a new effort to unify and strengthen leftist dissent from Obama.  It brings me nothing so much as an overwhelming sense of […]

The Tragedy of Martin Van Creveld

by Jack Ross Originally posted at The American Conservative Richard Silverstein blogs about the most recent newspaper column of Martin van Creveld, the brilliant Israeli military historian and author of the monumental work The Rise and Decline of The State.  The column is just the conventional argument that […]

Left Libertarians: A Dispassionate Assessment

by Michael Parish Originally published at A Beautiful Mind Left-Libertarianism is an ideology that seeks to hybridize the economic agenda of classical liberalism with the cultural agenda of the New Left, as such constituting a conscious return to the movement as it existed in the mid to late nineteen sixties. Therefore it appears paradoxically both radical, […]

Detroit Municipal Government to Abandon 20% of the City

It seems Detroit can no longer afford to provide even routine services to the whole city. No cops, no garbage collection, no schools, no street lights, nothing. Anarchy in the USA begins.

Teens Smoking More Dope, Boozing it up Less

So says a new study. Good for the kids. Weed is less bad for you than alcohol.

Black Segregation in US Drops to All-Time Low

Some interesting data on race and class in America. This caught my attention: Amid swirling congressional debate over taxing the wealthy, three localities in Virginia had median household income of more than $100,000 – Falls Church, and Fairfax and Loudoun counties. Those three localities are just outside of […]

Zionist Media Boss Attacks Anarchists!

In their critique of the influence of the Israel lobby over US foreign policy, Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer identified Mortimer Zuckerman as a leading figure in the media wing of organized Zionism in the US.  Zuckerman’s reply?: “”I would just say this: The allegations of this disproportionate […]

Encouraging Words from a Reader

A reader recently posted these comments on a left-libertarian discussion board. These are very encouraging words (and not just because it includes praise for Yours Truly). This is the kind of genuine independent thinking we need for anarchists to engage in, rather than just being drones for this […]

The Plight of the Intellectuals

Jack Ross assesses the Left-Neoconservatives of the Euston Manifesto persuasion. The Euston Manifesto is particularly important because it outlines what will be the ideological future of the Western ruling classes, i.e. neoconservative foreign policy views, the Zionist/Islamophobic paradigm, neoliberal economics, and the social agenda of the far Left.  […]

Army Birther Pleads Guilty to Refusing to Deploy to Afghanistan

An Army officer is refusing service in Afghanistan because Obama is ineligible to be commander-in-chief. I salute anyone who refuses to serve the Empire, regardless of their motivations or ideology. (hat tip to RavenWarrior)

Do You Hate the State?

Murray Rothbard asked the crucial question. Tom Paine’s radical hatred of the State and statism was and is far more important to the cause of liberty than the fact that he never crossed the divide between laissez-faire and anarchism. And closer to our own day, such early influences […]

Terrorist by Association

COINTELPRO continues. Also, check out this piece by Naomi Wolf on the history of U.S. repression.

Cop Block!

This looks to be a fantastic site!

Taking His Stand: An Interview with Michael Hill of the League of the South

Read the full interview here. This part is particularly relevant: On the League’s website, you said that you seek a peaceful means to Southern secession. Suppose The American Empire collapsed under its own weight tomorrow and the United States of America was an entity only on paper. There […]

Score One for the Free-Market Left

Kevin Carson explains why. And see Carson’s “When the Government Promises It Won’t Abuse Its Powers, It’s Lying.“

Green Rising: The Dangers of Political Environmentalism

So says Dave D’Amato. This seems to have provoked a bit of controversy among the libertarian-left. Also, see D’Amato’s “Corporate Welfare Disguised as Free Trade.”

Is a Left-Right Antiwar Coalition Possible?

Paul Gottfried is skeptical. I say it depends on which groups and individuals on the Left or Right we’re talking about.

The Class-Domination Theory of Power

Glad to see Lew Rockwell is promoting the work of William Domhoff.
